the South. There are in Georgia and South
 Carolina no less than $12,0OO,00O in loans
 placed mainly on farms. The usual method
 of securing money from loan companies is told by the Augusta Chronicle as follows: The borrower is furnished with certain blank applications for the loan, which he fills out, agreeing to pay a certain interest-8 per cent. in Georgia and 10 per cent. in South Carolina-and from 15 to 20 per cent. com missions, besides fee for the examination of titles. A wishes to borrow $2,00O. The agent deducts 30 per cent. from the amount as commissions. A gives his note for $2, 1000 and 10 semi-annual coupon notes for $S0 each. A thene gives an absolute deed for certain number of acres of land to secure the notes, and receives $1 ,600 in cash, out of which he pays the attorneys fees for the ex- animation of the titles and the drawing of papers, If default is made in the payment of one of the coupon notes for 30 days, the and interest become due and the contract can be enforced

 The Epoch is 8 mischieyous if not mali cious journal. Not long ago it induced two medical men to discuss summer clothes and it was found when their remarks were publish ed that one asserted that dark clothing is cooler in summer, the other that light cloth ing is cooler.
 Having thus settled question of general interest the Epoch turned it's attention to another, almost as interesting and imports ant It has led two more doctors into dis cussing tobacco. Dr. John c. Shaw, who is professor of nervous diseases and who does not use tobacco himself, says: Among all who smoke have never seen any nervous disease which I should attribute directly to the use of tobacco, except heart trouble. I doubt whether cigarette smoking is any worse than cigar smoking. Some people claim it is worse. From what see of smokers I should say that the man who smokes pipe is worse off than the man who smokes cigar cigarette. When you compare the Americans with the Spaniards, the Mexicans and the Cubans I should hard ly say that our countrymen smoked too much. These nations smoke great deal more, but ana not able to say whether they are injured by so doing.
 So much for Dr. Shaw. Then arises Dr. w. M. Butler and says: I suppose that the least harmful method of smoking is the use of clean pipe with mild tobacco-a pipe that has not absorbed the nicotine. The cigar would come next in favor. Cigarette smoking is, by all odds, the most pernicious of tobacco habits. It is true that the French, the Cubans, the Spaniards and the Mexicans are great cigarette smokers, but they are very nervous people. Still, do not think it injures them as much as it does Americans.
 Pay your money and take your choice. Dr. Butler says further: It depends on how much you smoke as to whether you will become harmed by the practice. The people who are injured by tobacco are those who smoke on an empty stomach, and those who use strong tobacco. But if man only smoked in modeEation-say two or three cigars a daY-he would not stand much chance of being injured very seriously

 The celebrated Dr. Farnsworth, of Norwich, Conn.,, recommends Ayers Pills the best of all remedies for Intermittent Fcvers.''

 Dr. Mayhew, of New Bedford, Mass, says: " Having prescribed many thou sands of Ayers Pills, in my practice, I can unhesitatingly pronounce them the best cathartic in use."
 The Massachusetts State Assayer, Dr. A. A. Hayes. rertifies " I have made a careful analysis of Ayers Pills. They contain the active principles of we'll known drugs, isolated from inert mat ter, which plan is, chemically speaking, of great importance to their usefulness. It inSures activity, certainty, and uni formity of effect. Ayers Pills contain no metallic or mineral substance, but the virtues of vegetable remedies in Skillful combination"

The review of Charleston South Carolina) News and Courier of the year following the earthquake is cheering. The Charleston shake, coming just as the cotton crop was being harvested, virtually destroyed the sea- son for that year. The value of the cotton received during the season of 1886 was more than $5 ,O00, ,0e0 less than for the preceding season, and there was a loss of nearly $3O0,- 900 in the value of phosphate rock exported. Nevertheless the gross trade for the yea ar ending August 31, 1887, was $66, S79, 541 againgt $6e, ,9s0, ,160 for the preceding year. The losses of cotton and phosphate rock were compensated by the gains in the wholesale and retail trade and it's manufactures. And now the people of Charleston propose to have s'gala week" beginning October 31st, es- peeially for the people of South Carolina who are invited to visit the earthquake city" and help celebrate it's resurrection.
